SACRAMENTO -- The California Lottery had a record $3.33 billion in sales in the fiscal year that ended June 30, lottery officials said Thursday.
That enabled the games to generate $1.17 billion for public schools, the fifth straight year that education funding from the lottery has topped $1 billion.
Scratchers games brought in more than half the lottery's revenue -- $1.73 billion -- and Super Lotto Plus and the new Mega Millions game generated $1.11 billion altogether. Fantasy 5, Daily 3, Hot Spot and Daily Derby brought in $487 million.
A total of $1.79 billion was paid out in prizes.
The previous sales record was $2.973 billion in the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2004.
